We've had a bit of an issue with people creating a lot of recommendation threads, so I figured I'd organize this a bit. It'll clean up the mess, and I'll be able to moderate it easier.
This thread will have some basic rules, to make things run smoothly.
1. If you are requesting...

Welcome to Anime Movie Nights.
So I am bringing this back. I'm not sure exactly what dates but this thing was a success so it deserves to be back.
I'm not really sure what should be broadcasted but I'm open for suggestions. I recommend not to suggest series, let alone on-going series....

So we're changing things a bit and instead of simulwatching a movie, we're going to similwatch 4 eps at a time of Keijo!!!!!!!!
We'll be watching 4 episodes at a time on each of the following dates. It was intended to be on the last Saturday of the month but Decembers fell on New Years Eve which...

Hello everyone. I'll be the new moderator for the General Anime & Manga section. Since the forums has went through some changes, I figured it's time to update to a new set of rules.
Note: Aside from these rules, it is imperative that you comply to the Site Rules and Terms of Service. You agreed...

I think I may have done this before, but what the heck.
What is “dumb, but fun?” The anime is dumb. The story is dumb. The characters are dumb. Even the animation could be dumb. But it is still a hellava lot of fun to watch.
Now I don’t mean series which are unintentionally dumb. These...

Is there an anime that single handedly changed your life?
It may sound stupid, but for me, it really was Digimon.
It was my gateway anime, but this isn't about other anime, but that was a plus, I started watching other anime because of it.
But I made so many friends because of it,...

I wanted to discuss this seasons plus last season. That why I put spoiler warning in the title.
What I mean by messing up, they ended the 1st season with them all supposedly going to another island. I was expecting it to continue from that point. It didn't continue. The 2nd season or...

Who is more important to the story? The hero who saves the day or the villain causing all the problems? Why? How? Where would we be without both?
Or do you prefer antiheroes?

Hello, but have a 3 questions for you:
1. If the Hugtto Precure, Star Twinkle Precure was turned into a Glitter Force after Glitter Force Doki Doki was completed so later?
2. Why did Japan does not export some animes Internationally rather than Cartoon Network and Disney Channel exporting from...

Watch this from Anime America, and then add your own.

If you are going to include Hell Girl, then you should add Hell Girl: Two Mirrors and Hell Girl: Three Vessels. Although Three Vessels doesn't really get good and interesting until the halfway...

Don't know if this is allowed. So, sorry if it isn't. Just delete this thread.
I think this is a fan made video (Not by me). I don't think this violates copyright laws. I am not a lawyer though.
The video is neat & strange. This is in English. There is also some bad words as...

I found this on YouTube. Possibly from 1907, the person who posted this quoted from Wikipedia. Knowing Wikipedia is not always so accurate, I tried to find confirmation elsewhere. imdb.com was not much help. I did find one source which dated this short film from 1907-1911. Anyway, if anyone...

Note to mod, sorry if I didnít pick the correct forum.
Is there a new really violent anime fad thanks to goblin slayer? Some of the newer anime seem more violent. Which I am not liking.
Also am I an odd ball based on the shows I like? Yes, I am an adult. My grammar is not great at...

What do you do when watching an anime which is really no good?
1. Stop watching.
2. Give it a chance by watching a few more episodes in case it gets good.
3. Watch it all to give it a fair chance.
With me, it depends on if it is a series or a movie. Movies I watch straight through,...

I've been watching Tokyo Ghoul on Cartoon Network's Toonami. Those who are watching it now and have seen the series before, has anything been cut or edited? They don't edit like the used to, but there are still some red lines they will not cross.
Through episode 5, not bad. But Ken Kaneki is...

OK. This is kind of disturbing:

This takeoff on the opening is also kind of weird.

Once before I posted a link to a video of a live action opening for Durarara. Remember?

Anime characters make their New Year’s Resolutions.
Death the Kid from Soul Eater: Get over my obsessive compulsive behavior. Wait, that’s 37 letters. I need to make it an even number.
Satou from Ajin: Demi-Human: Smile more.
Haruko from the FLCL series: No more fooly-cooly.
Saber...

What series have you watched multiple times and why?
1. FLCL. It's insanity as its best. No other reason. Each time Cartoon Network's Adult Swim re-runs it, it is like a special treat. (I don't like Progressive or Alternate though.)
2. Boogeypop Phantom. Well, you have to watch this...

Post your favorite YouTube anime parodies here.
Mine:

This is part one of three. I didn't like the series, but the parody is funny.

What anime character(s) do you think were underused? Maybe they were just interesting despite not having much to do with the main story. Or maybe their potential was never explored or realized. Whatever way you look at them, you wanted to see more of him/her/them.
I am going with twin sisters...

OK, now it's my turn to ask for help.
I am trying to remember the name of a particular anime series. The series is no more than 10 years old, I think. It takes place in feudal Japan. Two warring families are about to be united when the two next-in-line for the heads of these families fall in...
